Small bumps around the areola are more likely to consider Montserrat’s nodes, which are sebaceous glands around the areola. Due to the darker areola and relatively soft and thin skin, Montserrat’s nodes appear more prominent, which is a normal physiological change. However, not all bumps around the areola are caused by physiological factors, such as folliculitis, neurofibroma, and mammary lipoma can also grow bumps around the areola. Common disease factors are as follows: 1. Folliculitis: due to the usual lack of cleaning a large number of sebaceous glands are blocked, causing inflammation of the sebaceous glands and folliculitis, resulting in bumps around the areola; 2. Neurofibroma: usually manifested as nipples, areola area The appearance of pale brown pigmented pendulous swellings, i.e., pale brown bumps, generally do not require special treatment without discomfort. If it is large, breaks down or affects the aesthetics, surgery can be considered; 3. Breast lipoma: It occurs mostly in obese women and rarely becomes malignant. Surgery is the main treatment after discovery, and the excised tissues are sent for pathological examination in order to avoid the combination of other tumor lesions; 4. Soft fibroids: Soft fibroids are a kind of epidermal hyperkeratosis and dermal connective tissue hyperplasia. The main manifestation is multiple filiform or tip-like redundant organisms, so it is also called dermatological redundancy, and it is generally recommended to actively operate after discovery. In addition, it should be noted that some breast cancers may have areola bumps in the early stage, especially in middle-aged and elderly women. If you find small bumps in the areola, it is recommended to seek medical examination in time to clarify the cause and provide targeted treatment.
